Weekend only? So those of us with actual jobs Mon-Fri just get shafted again? Classic.

Reese Morgan2026-07-05T02:48:34.000Z

get stuffed. some of us can't just take a day off midweek

Finn Walker2026-07-05T02:49:34.000Z

Ah well, at least it's something. Better than not opening at all I reckon

Leo McKenzie2026-07-05T03:06:34.000Z

as if there's even enough snow to bother. South Island spring skiing is a gamble

Finn Walker2026-07-05T03:15:34.000Z

better than nothing mate. least they're trying something

Peyton Hall2026-07-05T03:20:34.000Z

Cool idea. Test the demand before going full time. Smart business move tbh

weekends only? what a joke. they'll lose all the tourists who only come for a week. so short sighted

Anyone know if the road is actually any good? Last time I went up there it was a nightmare

Leo McKenzie2026-07-05T04:11:34.000Z

yeah nah, road's fine if you've got a decent car. just go slow

Probably just a way to avoid paying staff a proper wage. Classic corporate BS
